He read the lines over care fully. He saw but little hope for a reconciliation with his wife from whom he had been separated foe nearly four years. He brooded over his domestic troubles, and misfortunes generally nearly alt of yesterday and at last de termined to lower the curtain on his part in the drama of life. Securing a 38 calibre revolver from some place un known at present, Scotch loaded each chamber carefully about 5:30 last even ing and walking to a secluded spot in the old stock yards in the vicinity of First Street and N. P. Avenue, deliber ately and while in a standing position, placed the muzzle of the gun just above nis left temple and pulled the trigger.

Raising the gun again in his left hand he placed the muzzle a little lower down on his temple this time. There was a flash, a sharp report, the body of the man reeled forward and then fell back ward to the ground and all that was mortal of William Scotch had passed into eternity. The curtain of death had separated him fyprp the wife and the little ones an^.'the vicissitudes of the world. The tragedy was' witnessed by the two little sons of William Ross, the janitor at the N. P- depot, who live in the vicinity of the stockyards. The little fellows had justed stepped out in the yard. They saw a man walking down the road. Presently he stopped. They saw a flash of light, closely followed by the report of a pistol. In the flash they saw that figure of a man. Scarce ly had the echo of the first shot died away when there was another loud re port, and they saw the man stagger and fall. Officer McLean was orf lower Front Street. He heard the pistol shots and immediately hastened to the rescue. When he reached the body the man was deadr and he is of the opinion that death instantly followed the second shot, but states that either one would have proved fatal. One of the Ross boys has tened to the police station and reported the matter to Deck Sergeant Wood, who summoned Chief Gowland and notified the sheriff's office". Under telephonic di rections received from Coroner Savage the body was ordered removed to the morgue of the Luger Furniture & Un dertaking Co. This morning Justice E. C. Gearey was deputized to look after the case for the coroner and after mak ing an investigation decided that an in quest was not necessary. The re mains have been turned over to local friends of the deceased and it is quite likely that before the sun sets tonight they will be interred, according to Jew ish custom and the rites of the church. Interments are not made on Saturday by the Hebrews and burials are always made inside of three days after dissolu tion in, where it is possible and no artificial body- preservatives are allow ed. The deceased was about 35 years of age and had lived in Fargo the greater portion of the tifHe since his boyhood days. He was married about six years ago,'-but his domestic life was unhappy and fdur years ago lie separaed from his wif^ Mirs Sco*ch returning to her paretics "in Minneapolis.

The suicide is a son of the late Jacob Scotih, who in the early days conduct ed a tailoring establishment in this city. The father died in Chicago a number of years ago, leaving a large estate to the Jewish Church and disinheriting his son. Since his return to Fargo William Scotch has been living with his sister Mrs. Schaivitch, at 218 Front Street. The body was removed to the sister's home this morning and the funeral ser vices will perhaps be from this resi dence. NEW-YEAR'S DAY IN FARGO. Crisp and eold was the nature of the weather in Fargo the first day of the itew year. The thermometers ranged from 8° td io° below zero which with a slight breeze from the northwest made everybody who had to b^o of doors very active. In a business way there was almost an entire cessation of business—the re tail stores, except grocers and butchers deviated from what has been the rule and closed the whoie of the day in stead of half a day. Everybody was happy and the ex change of greetings was characteristic that the year which has just closed has been a satisfactory one and that a feel of V THE FARGO FOBUM AJ5D DAILY REPUBLICAN", FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 1, 1904, Re Estate Pirir^ki On® Ttfe*..$0*25 Per Inch, One Week I.OO Per Inch, One Month ... ..... 3.50 ve ot: W.

The young ladies were very happy and were not slow to remind the boys that this year is their s and there was an evident determination that a pre rogative which has bten denied them for eight years was going to be exer cised this year—with many of the girls of course, especially those who have in the interim reached the "sweet six teen" stage, this year will be their first opportunity to enter into the fun of leap year amenities. One young lady jogged the memories of some with whom she was discussing the subject by saying that the 16-year olds who en joyed the last leap year are now 24* and still single.

Mitchell: A while ago "Efc* Mayor" Johnson gave us some "trot tin' boss statistics" which although rather ancient, were very amusing to the boys that are posted. In last even ing's Forum he tells us that he heard Adelina Patti sing in Stillwater in 1857 that she was then 19 years old. As a matter of fact, she was born in 1843 and would have been 14 years old at that time. She made her debut in New York in 1859 and it was after that that she toured the United States. If the "ex-Mayor" intends to keep the public informed 011 these important events he should get a new almanac. During the spring campaign the figurft must be. correct. A Dane: Although an adopted citi-' zen of these United States I feel a nat» ural pride in my fatherland and not^ withstanding the great strides in scten* tific and remunerative farming in this country I think that little Denmark leads the world in scientific dairyti)^ and agriculture and most remunerat ively. Most of the farms are from five to twenty-five acres and arc owned by the peasantry. About half the land in oats, hay. pasture and root crops for the horses, milch cows and sheep. In proportion to her size, she has more cattle than any other country in Et*» rope. Strict sanitary conditions are enforced in the dairying industry, and the cows are examined every inont|gr Most of the steam butter factories arf co-operative, and Danish butter brings the highest prices in the foreign mar kets. Great Britain alone buys ov£| $33,000,000 worth annually. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY/ Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. All druggists refund the money if it fails to cure. E. W.
